Bernie is right. Our grandchildren and their children are going to want to know how we could ignore the warnings of 95% of scientists and 97% of climatologists, and leave them a world much worse than the one we inherited. What are we going to tell them? We didn't want a Black president to get credit? We didn't want giant corporations making record profits to have to clean up their pollution? We were trying to please an ignorant anti-science base of religious voters? I don't think they'll accept those feeble excuses -- and we shouldn't either.
